The thrill ride at 8am!!

What happened today was a little unusual. I boarded a bus to reach my work place and damn the bus driver was driving so rash. He drove the bus as if he owned the road. People in the bus who were seated were all fine, but I felt pity for the one's standing. They were completely dangling from one end to another and I was one of them. laugh.

Just wondered that the driver must have had a big fight with his wife last night, or another  good thing to say was he should have been an airplane pilot. The rash driving really made me feel what it would feel to be traveling in an airplane.

The ride was a rough one but I don't know I still felt happy. I felt am all geared up to face the day with a smile having such a rough ride in the morning.

But it really shouldn't be that way. I really feel he must have exceeded the speed limits and that's a matter of concern. What if he happened to hit a car, or a person crossing the road, why was he in so much hurry. All these questions were popping up in my mind when I was in the bus.

So many people die every year due to rash driving. Do they forget they have some one who's waiting all day for them to come home.

Drive safely people. You never know what comes your way right???? Happy Driving!! But Safely. TAKE CARE.. :)

The Stranger

Ahh just couldn't bear that afternoon heat, I was returning home from work, walking on the railway station bridge thinking whether I'll be able to catch the next coming train or not. There was the train on the platform and up I was on the bridge. Down I came rushing and boarded the train, But the next thought on my mind was will I get a seat to sit? I searched for a seat to settle down but hard luck couldn't find one, but just when I was loosing hope that I would have to stand the whole way back home in the train I found one. I felt relieved. The person next to me was an old lady, I looked at her and she smiled at me, I smiled back. I really feel nice when a stranger smiles back don't know why but I feel good. After a while she noticed I had a red umbrella which I always carry to cut the heat, she said that it was very pretty, I smiled again. She began talking to me then. She told me where she lived, that she was a teacher, she was 74 years of age and that she was going back home after visiting her nephew. We both were sharing small details about our lives. It was a pleasant chat.

I have a lot of respect for elder people, don't know why some people just don't respect them. I love to talk to them, take advice from them. They have so much to talk about, share their experiences, you can learn so much from them. I guess I like to talk to them because I had never had grandparents living with me, they passed away when I was very young, I miss them. Let their souls rest in peace. But I really wish I had an elderly person to talk my heart out. Sometimes  there's so much I want to say but there's no body to listen.

All the elderly strangers I have met in my life so far, were all very good to talk to. Once I was with my friends just having a chat and we happened to talk about old people. I happened to tell them that I like talking to them. They laughed at me saying "you like to talk to oldies". I said they don't become useless after they become old, why do people think like that. I hate people who don't respect elder people.

Alright back to where I was, we got down at the same station. I waved her good bye and told her to take care. I couldn't believe the fact that she was 74 but still so young at heart. She said nice meeting you girl. I smiled again. It seemed like she had so many things to say and that I was just the right person to talk to at that moment. I wish I meet her again. :)

That's all that happened yesterday. Take care u all.. And respect all your elders. Have a beautiful day ahead.

Life is at its best!

Hey guys have you ever felt that you don't need a reason to smile, well I do. When the smallest things in the world make you happy like the early bird singing on the tree, kids going to school early in the morning I remember my school days every time I see them, or a stranger giving you a smile when your just about to start your day. Life's all about finding joy and I find joy in the smallest things.

Every day I wake up, I just feel I have so much to learn about myself as if I don't know myself even a bit, and also the people around me. The rising sun tells me to rise and shine with a bright smile on my face. The birds chirping on the trees make me feel happy from within. Throughout the day I wanna give my best in whatever I do and when I rest at night I thank God for everything that he gave me and for what I am today.

Back after a long time!!

Gosh I always use to wonder how people say "life's got busy". I use to feel how can they not take out time for things they love to do like shopping, movies, parties but now I realize sometimes life does get busy and to just tend to forget things for a while.

(in my case blog, hangout with friends, read a lot of stuff, spend time with family)

Like I forgot to blog, well you have got no idea how much I miss blogging. I love it, its a stress buster for me and I am feeling damn good while I am writing this post.

Hope you guys don't get carried away with your work, take out some time for things you love

listen to music,

go out for an evening walk,

meet your friends,

spend time with your family,

read a new book,

go shopping,

watch a movie.

Do things that bring a smile on your face. Ahh I feel so good. :) I guess I was just lost but I am right back on track now :)

I feel that heat , Do you?

Do you guys feel that heat all around you? Its just ten in the morning and feels like its 12'o noon. Gosh!! this temperature's just rising day by day, year by year. I hear in the news that the glaciers are melting and the Global Temperature increasing, it actually scares me sometimes of what will happen ahead in the years to come.

Global Warming another issue which needs immediate attention along with so many others. There's so much happening all around, scarcity of water, the natural resources being used up, trees being chopped down, so many species of animals and birds going extinct every year and now its the national animal we talk about, also the level of harmful gases in the atmosphere increasing, the ozone layer depleting.

Man alone is responsible for all that is happening around. If we don't look into these issues now I guess it will be too late then. There is still time, we can do a lot if we want to like using the natural resources to a limit. Avoid wastage of water, use of CFL lights that consume less electricity, Planting more trees in your surroundings. "Conservation" is what is required.

I hope we all understand the importance of this before its too late.

The Unseen Friend!!

For the first time ever in my life I wrote a poem..Its actually a dedication, n m sure the person whom it is dedicated to knows it...hope you all like reading it..

The Unseen friend is about a friend whom I have never met till now..but we share the best friendship anyone can! Sometimes distance doesn't make any difference!! M sure you also must be having friends who don't live in your own state..or maybe not even your own country!! Don't you think its fantastic on how two people can share an amazing bond called friendship..when they haven't even met once!!

Please do comment..i love it when you do..good or bad!!! All's welcome..!!!Take care..n do keep in touch with your friends..near or far they are the only friends you have.

The Unseen Friend!!

The day I met you

it was just another friend,

A beginning of a friendship

and it was just the perfect blend.

You would be there for me

at times when there was none,

You brought back to me

my smiles, my giggles & my fun.

I could share the deepest secrets that I had,

You cared like a mum & scolded like a dad.

Your talks so decent, pure & kind,

Even if you made fun of me

I really wouldn't mind.

In this lonely world, when there was

no reason to cheer,

You stood by me, to help me overcome

my greatest fear.

I will be there for you, just as you did

That's why they say "A friend in need is a friend indeed"

Miles away, yet you seem so close,

This time I had selected the right path I suppose.

One Thing I must tell you that your one heck of a friend,

And hope our friendship never comes to an end.

M I Addicted or is it the thirst to "Know"?

Jus abt some days ago I wondered what twitter is..coz I have been listening abt it on the news..frm friends..so I thought why not I open an acct..on twitter n explore it myself..wat twitter is all about. I am always ready for new things, I like changes. So I opened an acct on twitter to quench my thirst of anxiety and anxiousness. Such a vast medium of information,activities,events..so much to do on the internet. Sometimes I feel am I crazy that I feel I should know all the small possible details about this www or its jus that I wanna do everything. I didn’t evn know wat blogging was, facebook n orkut I discovered them myself..its due to my thirst of knowledge that I discover abt things I don’t know. Gosh m so damn crazy, but I like being this way.

At first I thought it is such a stupid thing to do. Frankly speaking my first opinion about anything is always the incorrect one. I didn’t use twitter much. The same way I opened an account on flickr n later discovered that it is a networking website where u can display n organize all your photographs..that was not of much use to me..coz I don’t hav a camera..so not done photography anytime..but the images and photographs I saw on flickr were just amazing..they were a feast to my eyes..coz m an art lover.

One day when I had nothing much to do and was jus browsing the internet I happened to check my twitter account and explored a bit about this “TWITTER”..dat everybdy’s been talking abt..slowly slowly evn I got d hang of it. It’s a good way to keep in touch with friends..gain information by reading useful tweets, a platform where you can share so many wonderful things that so many people will read. M jus lovin it nw, to follow me on twitter ma username is maliprajakta. Jus click on the follow button..n ul b following me thn.

Happy Tweeting.tc cheers 

Yaaahhhhooooo!!!!!

I happened to meet ma friends last week…n just while having a chat we happened to plan a small one day trip.

We all wanted to chill, hav fun and relax and the amusement park was the best place we cud think off. I feel a bit low when I say this but I went to this amusement park for the first time n all of ma friends hav been there lik twice or thrice..no worries..atleast I went there this time..lol. :)) I had a fantastic time there. Four of us set off early in the morning for the amusement park.. on a Sunday..I ws damn excited..coz u all know now..I love adventure, fun n thrill. This was the day I was waiting for from a long time. We also enjoyed the boat ride coz this park is a bit isolated from the city on a small island and we need to go there by a boat.

I am not boasting of maself..but among ma four friends I was the only one who enjoyed every ride..even the most thrilling ones. ma friends didn’t even dare try sitting on big ones. It was jus me..who ws jumping in excitement …but that’s how I am. It was 1 in the noon..we had food…relaxed a bit and then again were off to enjoy the remaining rides. The most exciting ride was of course the roller coaster , there were two roller coasters. I enjoyed both of them and that too multiple times. One more exciting ride that freaked me out was the “Thunder”..ahh it was awesome. It was a two seated ride..but no one was sitting next to me. I had to sit alone. This ride just scared the shit outta me..evn I closed ma eyes in between..but thn whn I calmed down a bit I opened them again coz it gave a wonderfull view of the complete park.

Ohh it was a wonderful day..we left at 5.30 in the evening..and it took me..2 hours to reach home. One more thing that I forgot to tell u is that it was raining the whole day..we all were getting wet in the rain..but enjoyed it a lot. Evn after havin so much fun..aftr goin home I met some of my other frnds..for lik an hour..told them all the fun I had in the park..and me n ma other frnds decided that we will again go to that park. Wat a beautiful day it was..wanna go again with ma other friends..n I will…n the nxt time it will b more fun..coz this is a big group of frnds that I have.

Thanks for reading!!! tc :))

The Story behind my name..Prajakta or Prajakt in Sanskrit (Post 12)

Prajakta or Prajakt is a name of a flower. The name of the tree that bears these flowers is called the Parijat Tree.

The botanical or scientific name of the Parijat tree is "Nyctanthes arbor-tristis" (sometimes incorrectly cited as Nyctanthes arbortristis or Nyctanthes arbor tristis)  and is  also commonly known as

• Night-flowering Jasmine 

• Coral Jasmine • Parijat (also spelled Paarijat or Paarijaata) 

• Harsingar 

• Shephali 

• Pavazha malli in Tamil (Also spelled pavaza malli or pavala malli) 

• Prajakta or Prajakt in Sanskrit 

• Ganga Shiuli in Oriya 

The tree is sometimes called the "tree of sorrow", because the flowers lose their brightness during daytime; the scientific name arbor-tristis also means "sad tree". The flower is the official flower of the state of West Bengal, India, and for Kanchanaburi Province, Thailand.

Mythology 

Parijat appears in several Hindu myths. In one myth, which appears in Srimad Bhagavatam, the Mahabharata and the Vishnu Purana, Parijat appeared as the result of the Samudra manthan (Churning of the Milky Ocean). In another myth, Parijat was brought to earth by Krishna from Indra's garden. In Hindu mythology, there is a story involving Lord Krishna about a parijat and Krishna's two wives, Satyabhama and Rukmini.

Satyabhama wanted this "Parijat" tree from the Heaven to be planted in her garden. Rukmini too, took a fancy to the flower. Krishna, wanting to keep both his wives happy, planted this tree so that the flowers fell in Rukmini’s garden while the tree remained in Satyabhama’s garden. The tree was planted in the garden of Indra, the Lord of Heavens. Even as Krishna stole a branch of the tree he was spotted by Indra. However, Indra desisted from placing a curse on Krishna since he was an incarnation of Vishnu. Still, Indra put forth a curse on the stolen branch that it will never bear fruit even though the flowers may bloom on the tree. Since the day the tree was planted at Barabanki (the wives' garden), it flowers but does not reproduce, because it has no seeds and the branch cannot take root.

Not only the tree has high medicinal values in Ayurveda and is divine to Hindus, but also has it's share of stories of it's romantic origin. According to Hindu mythology, Parijathaka a princess was in love with sun and failed to win his heart, even after trying a lot. So She committed suicide and from her ashes rose the tree parijatha. Unable to stand the sight of her love, she blooms only during night and sheds all the flowers (resembling tears) before the sun rises or with the touch of very first sun rays. The highly fragrant flowers bloom during night spreading there essence all to the surroundings. The courtyards filled with these flowers in the very morning is a bliss to eyes and their aroma arises your spirit. These are apparently only flowers that Hindus offer to GOD picked from the ground instead of plucking from the tree.

So, next time if you come across a Parijat tree, stand for a while and try to capture not only its beauty and goodness but also the romance that it holds within.

"Insomniac" (Post 10)

 

  

 “Insomniac” I like that word, I don’t know why? It happens to me sometimes that I am not able to sleep at night. Don’t know what I am thinking about, but there are constant thoughts in my mind. I just keep gazing out of the window, or look at the fan rotating above. The look outside the window is a little haunting with a tall tree, a street lamp which goes on and off and the lonely moon which I can see through the leaves of that tall tree.

When I look at the moon I feel as if it wants to tell me that you’re not the only person who’s feels lonely. The silent moon gives me company till my tired eyelids hug each other and I fall asleep.

I am thankful that it just happens sometimes with me, or else it wouldn’t take much time for me to turn into an “Insomniac”.

 

 The lonely moon and the haunting sky.

Do you get proper sleep in the night?? I hope your answers a yes!! Well try an take good rest at night.

Gd Nyt!!Sleep Well..

The Bus Ticket (Post 9)

Just another evening some 3 days back I was coming home from work. I travel by train and bus both. I was in the train listening to music, I always do that when I travel otherwise its just boring, I feel. I got down at my station and it was now time for me to board the bus I traveled everyday back home. The bus was parked at the bus stop and it looked like it was overcrowded with people. I still had no other option but to board the bus. Everybody in the bus looked so tired and just waiting for the bus to start. 

It was 25 minutes the bus driver was not on the scene. The people in the bus were just going crazy with the heat and sweat. At last the driver arrived and the bus was in gear. Ahh what a relief. Normally it takes me 12 minutes to reach home, but that day it took me 30 minutes..Gosh what traffic.. the bus ride was tiring. 

There was a lady sitting next to where I was standing in the bus. She told me that she wanted to get down at her bus stop, and I could see that she was 7 months pregnant and she needed help. The entrance of the bus was completely packed with people and I couldn’t move even an inch. I shouted out to the people that this lady needs help, please give her way to board out of the bus. The thing was that I was coming in her way, she couldn’t board out of the bus, because I was blocking her way. I said to myself if I don’t get down she wont be able to board down from the bus. My bus stop was 2 bustops away. That lady was carrying a heavy bag with her, which had fruits in them. I took that bag from her, held her hand and helped her get down the bus. She smiled and thanked me. I told her to take care, waved her good bye and was on my way back home.

The next day in the evening I saw the same lady at the bus stop and we boarded the same bus again. She bought me the bus ticket. I told her you didn’t have to do this. She did that to return thanks, but I didn’t expect that because I had already received her thanks when she smiled at me. 

It satisfies me a lot when I help somebody who really needs help. You should have seen the expression on her face when I helped her get down that crowded bus, she felt so relieved. It made me happy, to see that smile on her face. 

Thanks for Reading, m sure you all will help somebody when they really need help!! :) 

The Rollercoaster Ride!! (Post 8)

With ups and down..highs and lows I enjoy the rollercoaster ride! I laugh, cry, shout my lungs out, feel numb, the adrenalin level shoots up and sometimes its less than the normal, the heartbeat increase as never before, my heart bleeds with excruciating pain, I feel m gonna die, but somhow I manage to hang on and enjoy the ride.

I am a person who loves adventure.. there’s adventure everywhere..all around me. Wonder what rollercoaster I am talking about.. it’s the rollercoaster of “LIFE”. I enjoy traveling every bit on it, whether I feel good or bad, it teaches me to hang on to that seat and never let go. This is what I have learnt from it.. aint that a wonderful lesson. 

“Never let go” jus three words but they mean a lot. Hope you learn to enjoy ur ride too..the one's who experience it for the first time will feel a bit whacked out n scared.. but there’s no other fun than enjoyin the rollercoaster of life.

In the beginning I closed my eyes and hung on to the seat scared to death. I didn't open my eyes until I knew that when I close my eyes I am losing on the fun,excitement and the thrill I can enjoy with my eyes open. Slowly slowly I learnt to enjoy the roller coaster with my eyes open..and believe me the view from the top of the coaster scares the shit out of you..n is more whacked out when you come down with lightening speed!!Ohh i miss that so much jus feel like enjoyin the coaster ride as I am writing this post.

I have enjoyed the real rollercoaster ride just once in my life till now, when I gave a visit to the fun park!! I can still remember I sat 12 times in it. The count will tell you how crazy I am for rollercoaster’s.

HAv FuN on ur coaster!! and don’t close ur eyes, its more fun whn they are wide open.

What I Love Doing the Most..(Post 6)

 There are many things I like to do in my free time. Well the thing is I get bored easily & I hate getting bored. So to avoid getting bored I have to think of doing something. Now that can involve a lot of things. My most favorite one is listening to music. I can listen to music till my head starts paining!! Really. Music is in ma blood, can’t help it. 

Another is Sing to myself. I also like to bug my little sister and brother by singing the same song again & again the whole day and that too the song that they hate the most, jus love doing that.

I like to listen to hip-hop songs..so sometimes I jus enque all the hip-hop songs on my system and dance lik no ones watchin me..you can also try that out,its a great way to workout.

I hate watching the daily soaps on the television I would rather watch news all day long..jus to keep maself updated by knowing whats happening around the world. Now this might sound a bit weird coz I knw not many ppl do this but I like watching Discovery Channel & National Geographic a lot. Love to know about animal life..amazing facts about science and technology..those beautiful places that I hav never seen before..and basically loads of knowledge.

I also like to write ..as in jus share thoughts that crawl my mind..I feel refreshed when I do that..!!

But the best thing I would love to do apart from all these things which I do jus to pass the time would be to be the reason behind somone’s smile. 

Thanks for reading!! Keep posting ur comments!! tc :]]

 

Phew..!! A Busy Weekend!! (Post 5)

Well when we think of a weekend it is always lazing around with the morning tea, reading the newspaper, and relaxing yourself from the tiring week that you have gone through. This was what I thought I would do this weekend as always but to my surprise it was something else.

 Mother and sister had to go out for two days and brother and I had to stay back at home which means I had to do all the chores that mom did everyday. Well it actually excites me to live all by my own..its an adventure I guess..I always find that little fun in doing things my own way. So I had to take care of preparing the breakfast, lunch, dinner, and also doing the dishes and clothes. I have no idea how the time just went by so quickly, these two days were super fast or did the earth just rotate a bit faster??? Because it was time for my mom to return home. 

I wonder how she manages to handle all the household chores, because it’s not an easy task..I must tell you and also wonder where does she get all the energy from to do so many chores . My mom never gets any day off from all the household work. Everyday she’s up early in the morning and works round the clock till night. Hats off to all the mothers. Well I need to take a nap now..feeling a bit tired..cya later..enjoy ur week..And Thanks for Reading..!! Feel free to post your comments..it helps me improve. Bye now. 

But the thing is I had to do the house work,and be creative.

The Rock Flower (Post 3)

It was the last day of my 12th board exam and the last paper to be attempted was Math II, I had an aversion for math from my school days can’t help it, and it still hasn’t changed a bit. Well I attempted the paper and there I was out of the examination hall feeling relieved.

All my friends including me were supposed to go for a movie on the last day of exam, but I had to give them a silly reason about attending a pooja so that I could be able to go for an interview in an international call center. It was more than a year that I and my family were staying without my father. No one to earn in the family and two siblings and a mother whom I had to look after, this was the reason for attending the interview.

I got through the interview and then after that day my life completely changed. The Call Center, this term was new to me, I only knew that we still were working like slaves for the British. The British outsourced their work and earned profit, also had to pay the Indians in rupees and get all the work done in time. Well they knew from a long time back how to rule and get things done from us, it was not new for them. Working in the call center I learned a lot. The British accent was one of my favorite. We had to give mock calls to the team leader and my mock call was the best of all the recent new joiners. I was the youngest of all the people working in the call center. And my general manager appreciated me a lot for putting efforts and getting very good sales for the company.

The company had arranged a small function where the employers were supposed to be appreciating their employees I thought I wouldn’t be getting any appreciation because I was just a fresher, the team leader was hosting the function with loud music on the floor, everybody enjoying to the max, working in call centers you hardly get to enjoy apart from parties and appraisal functions. The team leader was about to announce the next award now and that was the Best Agent Award of the month with the highest number of transaction clear sales, which means that the agent who’s sales were quality check clear and the agent who’s given the highest number of sales in that month. To my surprise it was me who won that award. I was extremely happy that day, because I was rewarded and appreciated for my work which I was craving for. It was difficult working in a call center, the agents work at that time when all the rest of the people are fast asleep in their bed.

I would recognize the noise of our sumo car that came for a pick up at my house from a long distance away because I was so used to listening to that noise everyday. It was 3pm and time to go to work. The same old briefing of the team leader everday and she warning us if there are no sales no dinner break for you guys had become a daily routine now. I cleared my 12th standard and had to take admission not knowing what I want to learn ahead. I got myself an admission in the college where I applied for a bachelor’s course in Information Technology as I thought it was an emerging field. It had become a lot more difficult now. The college in the morning and the call center in the night. This is how my day began..

I woke up at 5 am to get ready for college as I had a morning college and a 7 am lecture to attend. The college got over by 1 in the afternoon, I always had to miss the last lecture because I had to reach home before 3, have lunch, rest a while and then wait for the sumo car to arrive and go to work. My call center shift ended at 12.30 pm sometimes it was even 1 am in the night, the time was not fixed as sometimes I had briefing sessions with the team leader after the shift also. It was almost 5 hours I slept at night everyday. It was becoming difficult day by day the night shift and my college studies everything just messed up. The Situation was getting worse in the call center, very less sales now. I thought as if my life was just coming to a standstill. The tension of clearing the math paper in the exam and whether I would get a sale today at the call center were the thoughts that wouldn’t let me sleep even in those 5 hours that I slept.

Well I cleared my math paper and it just got worse at the call center. It was a year and a half at the call center now and while I was working I was promoted as a Sr Agent and then as a Team Coach with more responsibilities followed by more stress and also working under a lot of pressure. One day when I was at my college attending a lecture, I didn’t sleep well the last night just thinking about how my day was going to be at the call center. I just went unconscious in the classroom , all my friends gathered around me to see what happened to me. A friend of mine had to come home to drop me as I was feeling weak, it was a horrible day I had at college, but I still had to go to work because I couldn’t afford to loose that day’s pay at work. It was a long nightmare I was just waiting for this nightmare to come to an end and yes it did come to an end after a year and a half. This 1 and half year nightmare ended when I decided I am not continuing anymore with my job because it was impossible for me to study and work. I had to be serious with my studies because I had to appear for my IT final exam and it was not a cake walk. I left my job when I was to appear for my 4th semester exam, just a week later I had my 4th semester exams and I ranked first in the college. I had a lot of time to study as I was not working anymore and was extremely happy that the nightmare had come to an end.

I completed my graduation and I am working at a software firm now. You must be wondering why I have named the blog as “The Rock Flower”. Its because my name means a flower and a flower is so fragile and so was I, but I became as hard as a rock after going through this phase in my life where I had to struggle for living and feeding my family. Its not easy for a girl who’s just 18 to live without a father, take responsibilities at such a young age. I had to work my ass off when all my friends enjoyed their college life, watching movies, hanging around with friends and all I did was just sleep for 5 hours at night , take calls, hear bad words from the British people on the calls , ruin my health. Life was just hell but being in hell was when I learnt the lessons of life. How hard it is to survive in this world, but I am thankful to my mother and secondly to God who gave me the strength to survive. That fragile flower became a flower but it was no more fragile but as solid as a rock so that explains my story and why I named the blog as
“The Rock Flower”.

Thanks And Take Care..and no matter what happens in your life..be strong and face it!!
